      How to Make an American Quilt Opening Monologue

      The music in the film is melodious and soft, and the story is slow enough to enjoy while passing the time:
      First, as long as I can remember, my grandmother and her friends have been part of the quilting bee. I remember sitting under the quilting frame pretending I was surrounded by forest friendly trees that their stitches were messages from giant written cross the sky. I used to spend my summers with my grandmother and grandaunt who lived in Grass California. My mum would dump me there...

      How to Make an American Quilt

      I opened google finance, and when the market opened at 9:30,
      I watched HBO family movies one
      after another. I don't know how many movies
      I saw, because the first scene I saw was a beautiful woman who was about to dive
      , so I continued to watch
       
      Sophia Darling's fearless diving impressed the young boy Chaplain by the pool.
      They went on a date. She took him to the lake where she usually swims. In the middle of the
      night, she jumped from the rocks into the...

      love patchwork

      On the quilt of love
      On Sunday night, Shan was busy "running".

      As for me, I was bored and watched an old film How to Make an American Quilt, paraphrased as "Weaving a Love Dream". The film was like a rocking chair haunted by flowers, and I fell. It tells the story of seven old women working together to make a patchwork quilt (that is, the old parrot quilt) for Finn, who is about to get married. The emotional stories of several women are intertwined in the patchwork pattern, one...

      [7.0] The warm American pastoral story is actually very ordinary, and the craftsmanship of the grandmothers is really incomparable with the embroidery of my big heaven. Although the final quilt looks ugly = = but every part All are full of stories. Each elder tells their own story about love and marriage. Winona is still as beautiful as ever, and this cast is a bit cocky, they are all beauties in the...

      What a beautiful movie, what a beautiful country, town and garden, what a beautiful young and old woman, what a beautiful soundtrack. You should watch a movie like this before going to bed, it's so comforting. Feminist movies, my favorite feminist movies. Gentle, warm, warm. In this world, I most admire and admire the power of women, the power of the best. I did think of , a group portrait of women. I especially like the image of sewing a happy quilt, and the history of love...

      In the end, everyone was relieved that all those who betrayed and betrayed may not be a kind of self-deception, but they may have underestimated obsessions and understood the complexity of love. And with marriage no one can guarantee that it will be smooth sailing you have to go by instinct and you have to be...
